Snow in May

Amazingly, it snowed in Moscow today.  Snow, sleet, rain, slush, everything.  Temperatures down to 2C.  Forecast is for worse conditions tomorrow though I suspect the authorities will seed the clouds and clear the skies for the parade.  Not much they can do about the cold though.

In background, Donskoy Monastery.  Founded in 1591 to defend the southern approaches to Moscow from invasion by the Crimean Khan, Kazy Girey.
